Coventry taxi driver accused of raping five women who owed money A COVENTRY taxi driver has gone on trial accused of raping five women. Black cab driver John Naul, 63, is alleged to have carried out the attacks over a seven-year period, Coventry Crown Court was told. At least one of the alleged attacks took place in the back of his taxi at a secluded spot near Coombe Abbey. His victims were all said to be prostitutes working in the city. Naul, of St Austell Road, Wyken, forced them to have degrading sex because they owed him money, a jury was told. He denies any wrongdoing – claiming the women had agreed to let him carry out a certain act if they failed to pay up in time. Opening the case for the prosecution yesterday, Peter Arnold told the jury: “Between 2003 and 2010, in the Coventry area, he raped five prostitutes and on two of the victims has performed other illegal sexual acts. “The evidence suggests he was in a position of some control or power over these women, and that he derived some sadistic and sexual pleasure from inflicting these sexual acts upon them.” The barrister said the first alleged attack happened in the back of Naul’s London-style cab on a secluded track near Coombe Abbey in April 2003. He is alleged to have indecently assaulted her twice and raped her twice at knifepoint. At a flat in Bell Green sometime between January 2005 and December 2006 he is alleged to have raped another prostitute and forced her to engage in sexual activity. Between January 2009 and December 2010 Naul is accused of raping a third prostitute, again near Coombe Abbey. And on October 26 last year, Naul is said to have raped a fourth prostitute at a house in Coronation Road, Hillfields, and a fifth prostitute at a house in Miles Meadow, Bell Green, on the same day. Naul denies all the charges. Mr Arnold said matters came to light in February this year after the fourth alleged victim finally went to the police. After Naul was arrested three more working girls came forward to make rape allegations against him. Detectives then discovered similar allegations had been made against him by another prostitute in 2003. Mr Arnold said Naul told police he often paid the women for sex but had an agreement with certain terms and conditions if they failed to pay back money he had lent them for drugs. Giving evidence, the first alleged victim said Naul attacked her at knifepoint in the back of his cab because she did not have his £20. She said she escaped when another car came down the track: “I ran for my dear life after this car.” She got into the car and was given a lift back to Coventry. During cross-examination, defence barrister Steven Redmond suggested the woman’s memory had faded over the past eight-and-a-half years. In response, she said: “I remember a lot of it like a video in my mind.” Mr Redmond also highlighted her “many” previous convictions from 1993 to 2007, including 13 for theft. The trial continues on Monday. Source: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/ |

Although he's not fit and proper it doesn't take a genius to see what has happened here regarding the drug addicts does it. This is what drugs do to people, they incapacitate their ability to hold a job, thus cutting off dependence money and then allowing the drug to take full control to open the door of abuse like in this case. A mate of mine had a pro open the door years ago and she asked him if he wanted sex for a tenner, he asked what else he would get for his tenner, she replied what do you mean, he said does it include an STD or not, she closed to door and walked, saddest thing is I knew of this girl and imo she was a nice kid who'd stepped through the wrong door, she prop'd me a few times but I declined it due to monogamy reasons, but I also gave her a paid fare ride a few times and she was no trouble, had potential to be someone but as of yet hasn't come out of the other side, if and when she does I expect her to become a councilor for similar people in future, that's whay cool drugs use does to you. Back on the case, over the years the back scratcher has been a busy boy, I've seen all sorts of shady dealings when it comes to avoiding paying up, I even had a woman stick her head in my lap as I was driving and then get straight back up and say hangon we've already paid you, this one jumped from the rear seat to the front seat when her friend got out, nothing happened and I dropped her home to a grateful partner who was waiting outside the house for her, that was drugs again, she was so out of it she didn't know where she was, ecstasy days gone bad. So, as far as forcing and raping goes I'll be very interested to hear the outcome of this one. |

Coventry rapist taxi driver John Naul 'knew his victims' Taxi driver is jailed for rapes  John Naul was arrested after a victim reported him to the Terrence Higgins Trust A Coventry black cab driver, sentenced to nine years for a number of sex attacks on women, did not attack his customers, police believe. John Naul, 63, from Wyken, was found guilty on Friday of two counts of rape and two of indecent assault. He was cleared of four rape charges and a charge of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent. He had denied all the charges. Afterwards, police said Naul had known his victims. Det Con Denise Hibbert, of West Midlands Police, said it was unusual for a taxi driver to be investigated for these type of offences. She said: "I would like to reassure the public that Naul did know his victims and he did not, as far as we are aware, abuse his position as a taxi driver, he abused his position of trust with female friends of his." She added Naul had been arrested in February after one of his victims reported him to police via workers at the Terence Higgins Trust. source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-15706684 |

How about the differing standards being applied from one council to another for starters My personal view is that convicted rapists shouldn't be allowed a license under any circumstances |
